Come on... you knew it was coming...

List the things/people you're leaving behind... the ones you won't allow into 2008...

1. Exes -- really... sterling qualities aside, they're exes for a reason...

2. Bad associates -- not necesarily criminal types... I'm talking folks who hinder you from being your best... They just might happen to be... you guessed it... exes.

3. A certain addiction to a certain ice cream flavor... Durn Ben & Jerry.

4. My habit of teasing heybaby about her ?uestionable crush...

5. My jokes about CarrieMpls, Emm, Ivy, Rhondab and ZombieKitten and their leg hair. Because, well, it's hot.

6. My habit of teasing old folks. Because I keep discovering gray hairs.

7. My doubts. It is what it is. Forever and ever. Amen.

roodboi said:

1. I'm leaving behind an unhealthy marriage along with a husband.
2. I'm leaving behind a lifestyle that I've known for 12 years (being part of the Air Force).
3. I'm leaving behind guilt.
4. I'm leaving behind my "can't say no" attitude.


I didn't pay attention to the thread title when it said what "7" things...

YEAH!!!!

In the Hebrew, 8 is the "wall" or the wo/man standing on his own two feet...

So question is, are you going to hit that wall, or scale it?

Hang on to your feet, and look after your legs!

Sadly..I think many things are going to come into 2008 with me!











because I am a dork

agreeeed and more confidence in my abilities as well as in myself

wow....I think I could name 77 things at least.
What a year!
Lots of ups and downs and lots of leaving things behind.


I am looking forward to 2008

This question seems a rather negative slant...

how about, what 8 things are you embracing?

The leaving behind bit will take care of itself.

PeaceandLoveCowgirl said:

Granted, it poses a glass half-full/half-empty question, in some regard.

But, some people view progress that way, abandoning a negative factor (while implicitly embracing its opposite quality).

In 2008, I'm going to embrace more affirming threads....

ThreadBare said:

good resolution.

the whole "leaving negative stuff behind" bit gives the illusion of progress, but in the end... we need something new to fill the void, and new-ness - no matter how desired - carries that scary "unknown" factor, know what i'm saying?

peace be with you, to the 8s!

PeaceandLoveCowgirl said:

I think they're the same, just phrased differently. But, OK.

1. Laziness - This is going to be difficult because I'm really lazy and have been for a long time, but I need to make some changes. I need to work on my physical fitness and I need to get rid of my laziness about school.
2. Toxic friends - I have too many in my life right now and I'm tired of it. I'm not going to put up with them anymore.
3. Fear of my parents' disapproval - I've tried to please them for my whole life and it is holding me back. I need to start doing what is right for me and not what they want me to do and what they think is right for me.
4. Unhealthy diet - What I eat is not terrible (I don't eat fast food or many fried foods or anything like that), but I need to start taking care of myself better.
5. Disorganization - After this last session of organizing that I did this week, I realized that I've become really messy and unorganized. I hate it. I'm changing that



That's all I've got

Soda, Pop, Coke and every other name for this nutritionally void substance that just makes makes me fat

1. Toxic relationships
2. over-reliance on the org for entertainment.
3. Sloth
4. Fear as motivation
5. Meat and cooked food as a staple of my diet.
6. wasted time
7. 45 pounds

1. weed
2. a few friends


thats about it

clutter...

some degree of fear/insecurities...

nookielessness...




that's about it

I'm sorry Rhonda, I love ya, but

spiderwebs and now this!!!

1- Procrastination. After having seen a friend of my father's literally drag hers into our lives, it will be the LAST thing I latch on to.

2-Overindulgence. Goodbye late night bad snacks. No more over the top shopping when I don't have the cash or damn near broke.

3- Shrouding myself. Like I'm not the only female in this world who has a weight issue! Like I'm not the only lady who has a hormonal thing. I need to find more solutions than covering up the problem.

4-Keeping toxic people in my life. TRULY toxic people.

5- Putting things "on hold". I either can or cannot do something. And before I say I "cannot", I need to go all the way at top speed until I can honestly say it isn't working out.

6-Ignoring myself. I ignore myself a LOT to please other people. Then I wonder why I suddenly get so pissed off when things fall thru. It hurts that I can't please everyone but hurts twice as much when I ignore the person I've been with all my life--myself.

7- Shying up when I have something to say. Lots of the time, I don't say things or leave input because I'm afraid of looking or sounding stupid. Compared to some other people I've been around in classes, I really don't look that bad. My father calls it "another point of view..."
